“There. Now. I’m gonna write I love you. . . like I do all my notes. It’s a very happy ending.” (Grace was writing a letter when I heard her say this to herself.)
Happy 7th Birthday to my daughter Grace
Good to be Home 
Oh Shanda, how beautiful!! She is lovely. When I first saw the picture I thought you were announcing another baby. I love the name Grace. My last 5 were all going to have that name, but alas they were all boys. LOL Have a wonderful day with your precious daughter. Love, Beverly
What a cutie! Enjoy her birthday celebration.
She is just 7 months younger than my oldest. Happy birthday to her. And a happy birthday to you, of sorts, because on this day seven years ago you gave birth to her. It’s a day of celebration for you too!
She is Adorable!
Happy 7th Birthday Grace!
Hugs
How quickly the time passes…each year so precious and unigue. Blessings to you all
I loved the title of this blog entry. “Grace Grows”. Grace certainly does grow. God’s grace is wider and deeper and longer than any Grace we could ever give to another. And I love that name for a girl. My daughter is named Allyson Grace. Shanda, your Grace is so beautiful. Happy Birthday, Grace!
Grace is beautiful and it was so wonderful to see how she has grown into a sweet young lady. Happy Birthday to Grace.
Thank you for sharing Grace’s growth with us, she is a beautiful little girl. Happy 7th birthday day, Grace.
Happy Birthday, Gracie! I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating with her. I’ll see you tomorrow.
I can’t believe grace is 7 today i loved looking at all her pictures from the past……. so precious!!!
Happy Birthday Grace!!! She is beautiful!!!
What a beautiful daughter you have. I hope you don’t mind me subscribing to you. I just enjoy the beauty of the pictures you post. I am a country girl from Iowa transplanted to New York City…so both the pictures of outdoor beauty and pictures of happy children touch something deep in me.
AWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! Happy 7th Birthday Grace!Blessings!!~Angie

I think Grace looks very much like you – especially in pictures #4, #5, #6, and #7.
